Why, then, do other polls show Americans so different from conservatives? The short answer is that other polls are scrupulously constructed to hide the tsunami of conservative opinion in America. On abortion, for example, polls will report that Americans define themselves at least as much as "pro-choice" as they do "pro-life," but that is just not true. The "pro-choice" advocates nationally oppose bans on partial birth abortion, oppose parental notification, and oppose counseling on abortion. Led by men like Obama, the "pro-choice" position is, quite simply, that a woman always has a right to choose an abortion.

Polls do not show support for that at all. Polls over the last few months give the following levels of support to making abortion always legal: "always legal - 19%" (Quinnipiac Poll, July 2008); "legal in all cases - 19%" (Pew Poll, June 2008); "legal in all cases - 18%" (ABC / Washington Post Poll, June 2008). While it is true that the percentage of Americans who want abortion illegal in all situations is almost exactly the same as those who want abortion legal in all cases, the overwhelming percentage of Americans want just what pro-life advocates want: abortion generally available in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening health problems for the mother; abortion for minors regulated just like abortion for any major medical procedure for minors is regulated; and abortion on account of personal inconvenience more strictly regulated. All of these polls showing Americans equally divided were crafted by people and by groups intent upon presenting a false impression of how Americans felt about abortion.

Excellent article. See what happens with the lies in the MSM about the country, about polls, about how we think.

Lets keep the conservative principles front and center. This country is great because of conservatives and those ideas need to keep moving forward.

This guy is wrong. In 2004, 48% of voters went for Kerry. In 2006, the nation elected the most liberal congress of all time, while in the middle of a war.

It is hard to equate that with an overwhelming majority of the nation conservative or very conservative.

This is easy. If you like the job W has done you are not conservative. If you do not like W then you are liberal. If you think it is all W's fault you are to stoopid to vote.

I am not convinced of the validity of the survey. When have you ever met a liberal who would admit to being one? Even in a survey?

60% of Americans are conservatives, 38% are liberals and 2% are the moderates. Numbers to live by.
